  Fictional language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some authors use fictional languages (also known as artistic languages, as opposed to International auxiliary languages intended for actual use) as a device to underline differences in culture, by having their characters communicate in a fashion which is both alien and dislocated.
Some of these languages are presented as distorted versions or dialects of modern English.
A fictional language is separated from an artlang (language constructed for beauty or fun) by both purpose and relative completion: a fictional language generally has the least amount of grammar and vocabulary possible, and it is made usually for a novel or movie.

 List of fictional languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fictional languages are created specifically for a work of fiction, such as a movie or book.
They are also referred to as "professional artlangs." "Fictional," however, can be something of a misnomer, as some are so completely realized as to, in fact, exist as a functioning, useable language (such as Klingon, and J.
Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis) is the language of the Ancients, the builders of the Stargates; it is similar to Latin.

Fictional languages are created, generally by an individual but sometimes by a group, and not intended primarily as a means of international communication (see International Auxiliary) but as a work of art, a component of a work of fiction, or a tool to study the workings of language.

 Language Classifications
fictional language - A model language intended to be used by characters in a fictional setting, typically for added verisimilitude and regardless of whether the fictional setting has been highly commercialized or barely outlined, whether the medium is a movie, a novel, a short story, a historical sketch, a game or something else.
fictional diachronic language - A model language with an elaborate fictional history, typically tracing its evolution from an ancestor language or language family (which may be a natural language or model language).
Granted, there is a lot more to a language design than that one factor, but it seemed like a reasonable hook on which to hang a system of classification.

 The Conlang Yellow Pages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
This list includes links to over 300 conlangs on the Internet, including all constructed languages I've found listed elsewhere on the web, the pages of the members of the CONLANG mailing list, and many others which their authors have sent me links to by e-mail.
I try to keep this a *complete* up-to-date alphabetical list of conlangs which have a presence on the Net; I'm not going to go through and write descriptions of each of the languages, as others have already done so and I can update the list more often, with more links, if I don't.
I'm glad to be able to add this language to my "favorites" list, now that the page contains a large (and still growing) grammar as well as a number of original texts in Valdyan, the language of Valdyas in the world of Andal, which also contains the Charyan languages and cultures by Boudewijn Rempt.

 artificial languages FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
An artificial language is a language that has been deliberately designed by one person or a small group of people over a relatively short period of time.
The model language is then taught to a group of people, and their ability or inability to learn it, or its effect on their brain activity or their perceptions of the world can be analyzed and conclusions drawn.
Tolkien's "elvish" languages, the Klingon language from Star Trek, and the feminine language Laadan from Suzette Haden Elgin's novels are examples of this fascinating social phenomenon.

Since many constructed languages have a fictional background, this description is complicated by not being able to use possible descriptive terms such as "human language" which would be descriptive, if it were not prejudicial to the Alien conlangs.
The list, despite its title, is not specifically limited to Elvish languages; discussion of Mannish and Dwarvish tongues, of the so-called "minor" languages, and of proto-languages derived by reconstruction based on the published languages, is encouraged.
The list operates under the belief that the created languages of Tolkien fully merit scholarly and technical study as language systems in their own right, and as an outstanding example of language-creation for aesthetic and artistic purposes (glossopoesy), quite apart from the study of Tolkien's work within the field of literary criticism.

 Nadsat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Nadsat is a teen language spoken by Alex and his 'droogs' in the futuristic world of A Clockwork Orange.
It is not a written language: the sense that we have of the novel is of a transcription of speech, rather than writing.
That Alex uses a different, unfamiliar language to talk to others of his age reinforces the social apartheid between the young and the old.

 Semantic Compositions: Why SC likes fictional languages now
Not terribly long after starting up, Semantic Compositions managed to ruffle some feathers by talking about fictional languages and contrasting the effort spent on them by their devotees with the efforts currently going into archiving dying languages.
This seems to be further confirmation that fictional language learners aren't just the sorts who have spent a few too many hours standing in line for the latest Star Wars (SC supposes this can be forgiven for The Phantom Menace, because nobody knew, but not for Attack of the Clones).
So, having seen what people who study fictional languages are really like, SC will cite John Maynard Keynes, who famously said "When the facts change, I change my mind - what do you do, sir?".
